1.2ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is the movement of normally motionless electrical charges which can
destroy common electrical and electronic equipment.
ADC recommends that you use an anti-static wrist strap when handling boards and
components.
By using an anti-static wrist strap, static electricity is constantly dispersed, via the snug-fitting
wrist-band, down the cable and to the grounded connection at the other end, leaving hands free
to work.
•Use either the provided anti-static wrist strap or an ESD mat.
•Otherwise, touch the metal chassis to drain off any static electricity before touching the
cards.
•Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
•Dry air can prevent dangerous charges from harmlessly dissipating. ADC recommends a
relative humidity of 50-60% when working on this equipment.
•Handle the cards as little as possible and only by the edges.
Warning: Make sure you use anti-static precautions before starting any of the following procedures.
1.2.1IDENTIFYING THE SYSTEM
The picoBTS system can be idenitifed using the main identification label. This label also
provides the relevant compliance information for the system when it was assembled.
•Locate the identification label, shown in Figure 1-1, on the rear of the chassis.
This configuration label provides the model and serial numbers for your chassis. These identification details are required if you encounter any problems with the system and need to contact
Customer Service.
Before a site is chosen or equipment installed, a site survey must be carried out. The site
survey checklist assists the surveyor with the inspection and the collection of site specific
information such as environmental conditions, electrical requirements, and mechanical
requirements. This site survey should also include the location of the InterReach picoBTS and
InterReach Unison or Fusion distributed antenna system (DAS) including the placement of the
distributed antenna system remote radio heads throughout the target structure.
The site survey checklist must be completed before installation begins. The InterReach DAS
documentation provides additional detailed site requirements.

Preliminary
3.4.2VERIFYING THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
In this section you will complete the following procedures:
•Backup the software license files from the processor card to the PC or OMC.
•Verify the software license files are compatible with the system.
1Verify the serial cable is connected to the chassis and you have an open serial session as
detailed in Section 3.2.2.
2Verify the license file using the following command:
printLicenseKey
The following output is a sample of properly configured license file:
License Keys :
printLicenseKey
GENERAL : VALID
GPRS : VALID
FREQHOP : VALID
XTNDCELL : VALID
SECTOR : VALID
TRX_84 : VALID
PDCH_60 : VALID
value = 1 = 0x1
HD:iwbox-> Done.
The licenses will vary depending based on your sales order and your network
configuration. Your license will not have all of the the entries listed above and may
display an error message similar to the following:
1219117434.733 (tShell) VerifyKey: key not found 4
This is normal, however if your license does not have any VALID entries. The file may be
corrupt or not properly installed, contact Customer Service.
3.4.3REBOOTING THE PICOBTS
•Using the serial session window, reboot the picoBTS by typing:
On-line commissioning tests the air interface to the picoBTS and takes place on-site after
installation and commissioning. Its purpose is to verify that the equipment is operational and
can be integrated into the telecommunications network.
On-line commissioning requires the participation of one or two people; a field technician who
operates and tests the picoBTS on-site and an OMC-R operator who has commissioned the
picoBTS on the BSC. These two must work together to get the RF interface up and the system
ready to make calls.
Under normal operating conditions, ADC radio equipment complies with the limits for human exposure
to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All ADC
Telecommunications, Inc. radio equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions RF
radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of continuous
daily exposure recommended in the United States of America by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-19991 (R1997),
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
RF signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within the transmitter, power
amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers and antenna systems.
Do not disconnect RF coaxial connectors on the ADC equipment or antenna systems while the radio
equipment is operating.
equipment is transmitting.
Never place any body part over, or look into any RF connector while the radio
The network commissioning procedures must be performed using the OMC-R and with in the
coverage area provided by the picoBTS. This requires one or two persons working from at
least two different documentation sets:
•A field technician who is on-site within the coverage area of picoBTS and DAS system.
They must have a copy of this manual and the appropriate DAS documentation.
•An OMC-R operator who uses the FlexWave OMC-R or BSC Configuration Manager to
configure and enable the picoBTS in the network. They must have the appropriate
FlexWave documention for the procedures they are perfoming.
The flowchart shown in Figure 4-1 provides a high-level view of the procedures. The procedures in the following sections provide detailed, numbered steps.
Note: Before starting any of the following procedures, the field technician needs to ensure that
Before disconnecting the physical Ethernet cable, the field technician must make sure that the
cable is labeled in a way that clearly identifies its origin and destination.
•Provide the OMC-R operator with all part, revision and serial numbers for the picoBTS.
4.2.2RECOVERY TESTS
The OMC-R operator should add the picoBTS to the GUI, configure the Abis to the BSC and
configure the Cell information on the OMC-R or BSC. Then perform the following steps:
1At the picoBTS, disconnect the physical Ethernet cable.
2Coordinate with the OMC-R operator to ensure the proper alarms have appeared on the
OMC-R.
3Reconnect the physical Ethernet cable to the picoBTS.
4Coordinate with the OMC-R operator to ensure the proper alarms have cleared on the
1In this test, the OMC-R operator unlocks individual TCH timeslots and the field
technician places a mobile-to-mobile call over each timeslot using a mobile handset in
debug mode. Refer to the documentation provided by the module handset manufacturer
for the proper procedures.
For each timeslot, the commissioner should verify that:
-The timeslot displayed on the handset corresponds to the timeslot unlocked by the
OMC-R operator.
-A two-way call is completed successfully.
-The call has good audio quality and power, and low interference.
The number of timeslots to be tested will be for two TRXs. Table 4-1 provides the
sequence for two or more TRXs.
Note: The BCCH can be assigned to any TRX within the picoBTS. The label “First TRX” applies to the
TRX to which is assigned the BCCH. All TCH timeslots on the secondTRX must be tested.
4.2.4RX SIGNAL QUALITY MEASUREMENTS
The objectives of this test are to verify the performance of the Receive path of the picoBTS
and the operation of the RX module in the TRX. Before these tests can take place, the picoBTS
must be returned to its original “on air” working state with call processing possible.
1From an Xterm window on the OMC-R, telnet to the picoBTS to be tested, or alternatively
connect directly using a serial session to the picoBTS with the laptop PC.
THIS SECTION FROM HERE IS TOO BE DETERMINED.

Figure 4-2: RSSI and Quality Log
The sample log shows typical results for strong signals on both the uplink and downlink where
RSSI of 63 is the highest number. The quality should generally be 0 when the RSSI is above
40 (strong signal). If you have any 2 or higher numbers in RX quality, you have some receiver
problems and should contact Customer Service.
